About

Welcome! My name is Kristine. I have recently come into legal possession of my family’s little cabin in the woods. (Legal but not exclusive! My family assures me they have no plans to throw away their keys just because I’m the one paying the property taxes now!)

Though I’m only 50 years young, I am already looking forward to retiring to the cabin in a few years while I’m still young enough to enjoy it! But before that can happen, I have a LOT of work to do – both on the existing cabin and on a new, larger cabin on the property. Comments and advice – especially regarding home improvement – are welcome.

Due to my cautious nature, there will be no names or recognizable photos of people in this blog – I hope everyone will understand. I also have to keep the Cabin’s location fairly vague for security reasons. Although I’m armed and pretty capable of self-defense, I prefer not to put myself to that kind of test!

I hope you will come along with me (and my cat, Mr. Chitters) as I share my memories of a lifetime of visits to the Cabin as well as other adventures and stories of the 49th state.
